A Guide to the World of the Santa Zita Quintet As with any series of novels, it can get hard at times to keep all of the characters, settings and events straight in the Santa Zita Quintet. For those of you who did not have the benefit of growing up in Alta Lara, or attending school at UC Santa Zita, some of the entries define the slang used in the novels. Click on the letters of the alphabet above to skip ahead to what you're looking for, or click here to start perusing at your leisure. If there's a reference in one of my works that confuses you, please email me and let me know. I'll update the guide accordingly.
